To efficiently and economically extract uranium from seawater, novel amidoxime-modified hypercrosslinked poly(styrene-co-acrylonitrile) (SAN) adsorbents with tunable porous structure were synthesized via simple Friedel-Crafts reaction followed by amidoximation. The adsorbent HCPSAN-B-AO obtained by using biphenyl dichlorobenzyl (BCMBP) as an additional crosslinking agent, possessed a larger pore size and higher surface area due to the longer and more rigid molecular structure of BCMBP compared to the original crosslinking agent 1,2-dichloroethane (DCE), resulting in the higher uranium adsorption capacity of HCPSAN-B-AO. Investigations on the adsorption performance in real seawater containing a large amount of interfering ions showed that the adsorbent owned excellent selectivity for uranyl ions, and the removal percentage of uranium could reach 84.4%. Furthermore, the adsorbent maintained good adsorption performance even after 5 adsorption–desorption cycles, indicating a good recyclability. Investigations on adsorption kinetics, thermodynamics, adsorption isotherms and adsorption mechanism manifested that the adsorption was a rapid (adsorption equilibrium within 30 min), spontaneous and chemical adsorption process (maximum adsorption capacity was 228 mg g −1 ), and the mechanism was mainly the interaction between uranyl ions and amidoxime groups. In summary, the as-prepared adsorbent was a feasible adsorbent for uranium extraction from seawater.

With the rapid development of nuclear energy, how to safely and efficiently dispose of radioactive waste solution has become an urgent environmental problem of public concern. It is of great significance to construct a new type of high-efficiency adsorbent material to recover uranium from nuclear waste solution. In this work, the Ti 3 C 2 T x material (an emerging two-dimensional inorganic layered material) with a stable layered structure was used as the matrix, and the amidoxime functionalized MXene composite material (PAO/Ti 3 C 2 T x ) was synthesized by in-situ polymerization. The amidoxime-functionalized Ti 3 C 2 T x showed excellent capacity to capture U(VI), with a maximum adsorption capacity of 98.04 mg/g at 25 °C, which was significantly better than that of Ti 3 C 2 T x , and the adsorption selectivity for U(VI) was greatly improved. The adsorption was conformed to Langmuir isotherm model and pseudo-second-order kinetic model. In addition, the adsorbed UO22+ could be effectively desorbed by 0.1 M HNO3, and the adsorption performance of PAO/Ti 3 C 2 T x did not decrease significantly after 5 adsorption/desorption cycles. The results of ionic strength experiment, FT-IR, SEM, and XPS jointly indicated that adsorption mechanism of U(VI) on PAO/Ti 3 C 2 T x was the combined effect of the amidoxime group and -O and -OH active groups on the surface of Ti 3 C 2 T x , mainly inner complexation. These advantages make PAO/Ti 3 C 2 T x composite a highly potential U(VI) adsorbent with great application prospects.

A novel fibrous sorbent, amidoxime-grafted activated carbon fibers (ACFs-AO), was prepared using a chemical grafting method and tested for the efficient removal of uranium from aqueous solution. The sorbent was characterized using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, field-emission scanning electron microscopy, elemental analysis, thermogravimetric analysis, and Brunauer–Emmett–Teller. The effects of pH, contact time, initial concentration, and temperature on the sorption of U(VI) were investigated. The sorption of U(VI) on ACFs-AO obeyed the pseudo-second-order model and Langmuir isotherm. The sorption capacity of ACFs-AO for U(VI) (about 191.6 mg/g) was much higher than that of activated carbon fibers (ACFs) (about 70.52 mg/g), which was mainly attributed to surface complexation between U(VI) and the amidoxime group on ACFs-AO. Additionally, the thermodynamic parameter results showed that the sorption process of U(VI) was spontaneous, feasible, and endothermic. Moreover, ACFs-AO adsorbed U(VI) selectively in an aqueous solution containing competitive ions, and was regenerated and reused efficiently. The findings of this work indicate that ACFs-AO could be a promising sorbent for the effective removal of U(VI) from aqueous solution.

It is a challenge to develop polyurethane pressure-sensitive adhesive (PU-PSA) simultaneously with good cohesion and adhesion properties. Inspired by the structure of multiple hydrogen bonds in spider silk, we introduced Acylsemicarbazide (ASCZ) moiety that can form multiple hydrogen bonds in the polymer network into PU-PSA. The characteristic absorption peaks of ester groups at 1600–1780 cm −1 were analyzed in FTIR testing, and the results showed that ASCZ formed multiple hydrogen bonds in PU-PSA, and the hydrogen bond content increased with the increase of ASCZ content. In particular, PUA-AD20% with 24.3 % hydrogen bond content showed higher shear strength (0.51 MPa) and debonding energy (3.3 KJ m −2 ). Rheological tests showed that PU-PSA storage modulus and loss modulus increased with increasing frequency, which was highly frequency dependent. Therefore, as dynamic and reversible sacrificial bonds, hydrogen bonds can dissipate energy efficiently and resist external forces. In addition, the ASCZ component also provided PU-PSA with the polar groups required for adhesion. Therefore, PUA-AD20% had excellent adhesion properties. Compared to PUA, PUA-AD20% tack and peel strength increased by 36.1 % and 146.8 %, with values of 4.9 N and 11.6 N, respectively. In summary, this work offered a simple and versatile approach to designing PU-PSA with outstanding overall performance.

Efficient enrichment and recycling of uranyl ion (UO 2 2+ ) from wastewater are crucial for preventing radioactive contamination and protecting human health. Herein, two novel covalent organic frameworks (Tp-PDAN and Tp-PDAN-AO) were synthesized by a simple two-step method. Tp-PDAN-AO exhibits excellent hydrophilicity, thermal stability, and chemical stability, making it suitable for UO 2 2+ removal from acidic wastewater. The high-density amidoxime chelate groups in Tp-PDAN-AO confer high adsorption capacity and selectivity for UO 2 2+ , with a maximum adsorption capacity of 565.30 mg g −1 , reaching equilibrium within 2 h. Additionally, Tp-PDAN-AO exhibits strong photocatalytic activity under UV irradiation, which further enhances U(VI) reduction, boosting both adsorption kinetics and capacity. The maximum adsorption capacity increases to 757.62 mg g −1 with photocatalytic reduction. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations reveal six distinct COF-U(VI) interaction modes, explaining the chelation mechanism between hydrated uranyl ions and Tp-PDAN-AO (ƞ 2 mode), providing insights into the application of COFs with customizable functional groups for UO 2 2+ adsorption.

There are approximately 4 billion tons of uranium in the ocean, which is unmatched by the surface. Nevertheless, it's very challenging to extract uranium from the ocean due to the exceedingly low concentration of uranium in the ocean (about 3.3 μg L −1 ) as well as high salinity level. Current methods are often limited by selectivity , sustainability, economics, etc. Herein, phosphoric acid group and amidoxime group were grafted to skin collagen fibers through " initiated access” to design a new uranium extraction material, abbreviated as CGPA. Through laboratory simulation experiments, it is concluded that the maximum adsorption capacity of CGPA for uranium reaches 263.86 mg g −1 . It has high adsorption, selectivity, and reusability for uranium. In the actual seawater extraction experiment, CGPA obtained 29.64 μg of uranium after extracting 10.0 L of seawater, and the extraction rate was 90.1%.

Uranium extraction from seawater has attracted attention owing to the growing demand for nuclear energy. However, it remains challenging because of the complexities of the marine environment, such as competing metal ions , high salinity , alkaline pH (8.3), and continuous biofouling. In this study, a new hyperbranched poly(amido amine)-modified adsorbent (PAO- h -PAMAM) was prepared by a simple hydrothermal method. The synergistic effect of hyperbranched poly(amido amine) and amidoxime groups not only endows the adsorbent with good adsorption performance and selectivity towards uranium ions but also adjusts the optimal adsorption pH of amino-functionalized adsorbents to suit the marine environment. Moreover, PAO- h -PAMAM exhibits an excellent antibacterial activity (96.5%) against marine bacteria and retains its adsorption performance well in multiple adsorption-desorption cycles. In view of its good adsorption performance, excellent antibacterial activity, and marine applicability, the PAO- h -PAMAM adsorbent is a promising candidate for uranium extraction from seawater.

Nuclear energy plays a key role in the global energy supply. The adsorption and extraction of uranium from seawater is key to the rapid development of nuclear energy. In this paper, quaternary aminated polyethyleneimine/amidoxime-modified hemp fiber (HFAO-QPEI) with high adsorption capacity and anti-biofouling properties were successfully synthesized by immersion and hydrothermal methods. Upon systematic evaluation, HFAO-QPEI possessed high adsorption capacity and good reusability with fast adsorption kinetics, as well as good adsorption selectivity and affinity for uranyl ions. Furthermore, HFAO-QPEI not only reached a maximum adsorption capacity of 364.7 mg/g but also demonstrated a short adsorption equilibrium time of 200 min. In contrast, HFAO-QPEI demonstrated high selectivity for uranyl ions, removing up to 95.1 % of uranium with K d value of 4.69 × 10 4 mL/g, which was 256.3 times greater than that of hemp fiber (HF). After the fifth adsorption–desorption cycle, the recovery of U(VI) was 91.38 %. DFT calculations proved that HFAO-QPEI-U was the most stable model. The quaternary ammonium salt functionalization not only makes HFAO-QPEI have excellent anti-biofouling ability (anti-diatom rate up to 87.22 %, anti-bacterial rate up to 97 % or more, anti-adhesion of large fouling organisms mussels with a certain effect), but also modifies its surface charge, making it more suitable for the marine environment. In addition, HFAO-QPEI showed a high adsorption capacity of 2.45 mg/g in natural seawater. The results suggest that the HFAO-QPEI adsorbent holds great promise for extracting uranium from seawater.

In this study, a novel amidoxime functionalized graphene oxide adsorbent (GO-D-AO), based on the reaction of dopamine modified graphene oxide with acrylamide diacetonitrile and on the reaction of amidoximation, was successfully designed and prepared to effectively adsorb U(VI) ions. GO-D-AO was characterized by SEM , FT-IR, XRD and XPS techniques, and then applied as the adsorbent for the U(VI) adsorption. The GO-D-AO contained more amidoximation groups after the amidoximation modification due to the use of acrylamide diacetonitrile modifier. A series of adsorption experiments were carried out to investigate the influence factors in the adsorption process , including the pH values, contact time, temperature and initial concentration of U(VI) solution. The U(VI) maximum adsorption capacity of GO-D-AO was 1823.6 mg·g -1 , which was significantly higher than that of GO because of the excellent chelating ability of amidoxime group with U(VI) ions. And the U(VI) adsorption process of GO-D-AO fitted well with the Langmuir model and the pseudo-second-order kinetic model , indicating the adsorption process was monolayer and chemical adsorption .

To solve metal resource shortage and alleviate environmental issues, it is in urgent need to explore cost-effective and environment-friendly adsorbents for sustainable recovery of valuable gold from e-waste. Herein, bacterial cellulose (BC) hybrid membrane grafted with adipic dihydrazide (ADH) has been fabricated via a facile schiff base reaction strategy for efficient and selective recovery of gold from complex aqueous media. The resulting [email protected] hybrid membrane features high ratio of hydrazide groups (67% of ADH by mass content) and hierarchical porous structure, ensuring high adsorption capacity (1149 mg/g) and fast adsorption equilibrium time (20 min) toward gold. Meanwhile, the remarkable recovery selectivity of gold is achieved in the simulated e-waste leachate containing a large amount of interfering metal ions. Notably, the captured Au(III) species on [email protected] hybrid membrane can be directly converted by redox-active hydrazide groups into Au(0) with no need of any external reductant. Furthermore, the developed [email protected] membrane possesses superior recycling and reusability performance, as reflected by no obvious decrease in gold extraction capability after six cycles. More importantly, the [email protected] hybrid membrane is capable of extracting almost 100% of gold from actual waste central processing unit (CPU) leachate, yielding high-purity gold (23.7 K) after pyrolysis.
